I am wearing my "kind of an asshole" hat, isn't it pretty?

BANDFLESH - I DON'T GET WHAT THE FUSS IS.

at first, I didn't get what the community was doing, then I thought it was boring, and now I kinda get why it would be entertaining (though I myself do not have a million hours to go capslock about peebabies and Teh Peen). I still haven't seen a link to the OMGRACISM (that I think started the whole to-do), and I have yet to find the bits where they SAY MEAN THINGS, so I remain utterly in the dark about why exactly there so much anti-bandflesh sentiment. Um? Yeah, I guess maybe I'd feel a little different if I was told that people were SAYING MEAN THINGS about me there, but... I dunno. I sort of feel like it is the *internet*. That's were people go to say mean things! And besides, the actual comm itself seems fairly harmless to me?

I guess I just see a difference between the way anonymity is used there and the way it is used in a lot of other situations. It is set up to be more than just some place where you can mouth off and talk smack. IDK.

You guys who hate that comm can totes defriend me over this, I guess. I'll just cry into my pillow at night. 'S cool.

But really. The actual reason I care at all about this wank is the part where one of the awesome-er (I can only say that b/c SO MANY HAVE YET TO BE POSTED) Big Bang stories got deleted when someone deleted her journal due to said wank. BUT! I did find out that my beloved Google has cached it, so I can keep it forever! \o/ I'll have to see if I can track down an email for the author, b/c I really really liked it.

<3 No dude. I mean. I don't wanna- god, just, I've been there, you know? I looked back on my responses and I'm like, Jesus. I sound like such a fucking asshat. This kind of this just always sucks, and it's such a shame that it's still happening. Like I said, I didn't mean for it to come off as insensitive or derisive. I'm just. Tired and sad of it too, I guess. Thanks for not- being pissed off and everything. C:

You weren't derisive (truth be told, it's been a rough couple of days for me in addition the wank machine that this bandflesh thing has produced. tired + thinky + continued outside wankery = me commenting. hah.)

Thanks for being rational and coherent in responding with your name attached.

Sorry. It was too good an opportunity to pass up. ;)
